After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

They will be able to update you on what you need to do to help fire proof your home, and if there are any other options to lower insurance like external fire sprinklers, sealing up, attic vents, defensible space, etc.

What about LaZBoy is that a decent middle of the road option? 

I am going to finish the rehab and get it rented then resubmit for a rental loan.I have used Cashcall Mortgage twice and have been very happy with them but Elite seems to be more flexible and have more options so was going to see if they are competitive.

Comps can show one thing but actually closing can be another.

She actually told me it was a triplex.

I have actually switched to the One Brokerage now.  

Pricing higher than a bank ( if you can actually get a bank to lend you money in the first place)2.

It’s definitely smart to evaluate the tax and cost implications of your funding options.

Otherwise, I recommend option two, using a personal loan.
